Sora swung his new Keyblade at several of the creatures causing them to disappear as well and then charged it right the head of another one causing it to disappear as well. Sora was amazed by the feeling of the Keyblade in his hands, it felt just like sparring with Riku on the beach and he still could not believe that this was happening.

Sora was startled as he heard the sound of Kairi screaming and he turned and looked on in horror as several of the creatures were dragging Kairi by the arms through some keyhole shaped portal and then he spotted Riku running after them and before he could do anything Riku jumped into the portal. Sora was not able to react before the portal then disappeared.

"Kairi... Riku... NO!" Sora said growing in anger as he then began fighting more fiercely against the creatures for what just happened to his two best friends. Soon the creatures began disappearing and people started coming out of their hiding places. People started clapping at Sora and before he could react to the applause and praise he was being given Sora saw his mother running towards him and gave him a big hug that lasted for a minute before she let him go.

"Sora, I am so glad to see that you are alright." Sora's mother said with a big smile to her son which turned to her confusion. "But where did you get that weapon and for that matter what is it?" Sora's mother then asked and Sora then saw leon and Yuffie coming towards them.

"It's called a Keyblade; a weapon forged to combat the darkness and for some reason you have been chosen to wield it." Leon said looking at Sora with a big glare. Does anyone know what those monsters were?" a villager asked and after some muttering everyone heard a voice say:

"Heartless, they are called."

Everyone turned in shock to see a short humanoid mouse figure wearing a pointed dark blue hat with light blue moon and star decorations on it, a red hooded cloak with a brown belt, brown shoes, white gloves and light blue shorts. This caused whispers among the people as some recognised the hat that the mouse was wearing as the same one that belonged to the old man who had claimed to be a master sorcerer "Sora is it; let me be the first to welcome you to the world of the Keyblade wielders." The mouse said with a bow and then laughed at the befuddled expressions on the faces of Sora and his mother. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Mickey Mouse sorcerer extraordinaire and in the tower that once belonged to my mentor Yen Sid, I practice magic as well as find and train Keyblade users such as yourself." The mouse said deciding to prove his magic by causing glowing orange lights to come out of the palm of his hand, to the shocked look on Sora's face.

"Wait you were the apprentice of the sorcerer from the tower?" Sora asked and Mickey nodded with a smile to the muttering of the civilians, talking about the news that it seemed that the old man Yen Sid really had been a sorcerer. "If you and your mother would come to my tower, I would be more than happy to tell of the responsibility that wielding a Keyblade will entail." Mickey said and Sora turned his head to his mother and she thought it over before saying that she thinks they could at least hear him out.

Mickey then smiled and then used his hands to make the three of them disappear to the astonishment of the civilians in the town. "What do we do now Leon?" Yuffie asked looking up at Leon. Leon thought it over and said they could stay until the learned more of the Heartless attacks.

*KH:G*

"So this is the new Keyblade user, he will have to be dealt with as soon as possible. He will be troublesome, especially with any training that he will receive from the mouse that had been that fool Yen Sid's apprentice." Maleficent said with an angry frown on her face looking at the image of Sora holding his new Keyblade in her Magic Mirror. She then left to take care of some more things including contacting one of her minions to see how the hunt for a certain someone had been going.

*KH:G*

Sora and his mother were surprised to see they were now in a room filled with bookcases and they saw also in the room were a yellow dog and a short humanoid mouse girl wearing a pink dress. "Let me introduce to you my wife Minnie and my dog Pluto, Minnie this is Sora the new Keyblade user and his mother." Mickey said giving introductions. After Sora and his mother shook hands with Minnie and Mickey took out a book and flicked through the pages until he found the one he was looking for and gave it to Sora pointing to an extract for him to read.

Before Sora read it though he then asked "wait if you were the sorcerer's apprentice, then did you really cause out of control brooms?" Minnie then laughed as Mickey had a sheepish look on his face and admitted that it was true and it was not one of his better accomplishments. After sharing a laugh with his mother Sora returned his focus to the book and read the extract that Mickey pointed to.

"So these Heartless came from darkness and the Keyblade came from my heart?" Sora asked for clarification and Mickey nodded in agreement as Sora gave the book to his mother to read. "Nobodies? Is it really possible to remove your heart?" Sora asked not sure if he believed that part of the story.

"Indeed it is possible, the first nobody was Xemnas, he was Ansem a Keyblade wielder who reached the rank of Keyblade Master but unfortunately went down the path of darkness." Mickey said with a regretful tone "long ago he became power hungry and wanted to find and unlock the Kingdom Hearts for himself and in doing so became the first Nobody calling himself Xemnas and he led an army of Heartless until he had been defeated. Now his notes are in the possession of the one responsible for the Heartless attack on the town. The one they call Maleficent the evil ruler of the once great kingdom of the Moors." Mickey then stated and Sora remembered something.

He remembered one of Belle's stories that the Moors was a nice place until an evil queen came to power and became a tyrant until one day she vanished leaving the kingdom to be taken over by a sorceress who had came to the kingdom around that time. "Wait but why did Maleficent's Heartless take Kairi then?" Sora asked but Mickey looked sombre.

"I am sorry but I don't know what Maleficent could be planning that would involve your friend but if you are willing to I could train you to go on a journey to save your friends and stop whatever Maleficent is up to." Mickey said but thought it over, "though I have not used it in quite a few years, I still have my Keyblade so I can train you to teach how to use yours but we would not have a lot of time for me to teach you if you want to save your friends." Mickey then added causing Sora's mother to look worried at the idea of her son going on some dangerous quest.

"Ms, I assure you that my husband and I will be watching over him as he goes on this journey and I assure you we will do everything we can to make sure that your son will be as prepared as he can." Minnie said taking Sora's mother by her hand, "What do you think Sora?" Sora's mother asked not sure what to answer since no matter what she would still be afraid for her son.

"I am a bit scared Mum but... if it will help me save Riku and Kairi then I will have to try." Sora said as determined as he could, Sora's mother then sighed to herself and gave a relucantly nod but still said she wants to make sure that Sora will be alright on this journey.

"Great, we can begin when you are ready!" Mickey said with a smile causing his Keyblade to appear in his hand, which had a more moon like shape on its blade. Mickey then began showing Sora some moves that the Keyblade could be used for and different ways of that it could be swung. Sora had thought that it felt like the sparring matches that he had with Riku and the thought of Riku made him a little bit sad remembering his friend was missing. He managed to shake these thoughts out of his head since he was going on a journey to find and save him as well as Kairi. Mickey also showed Sora how the Keyblade could be used for magic attacks such as summoning fire and lightning attacks, as well as healing any injuries that he would have by using what was known as 'cure' magic.

After the afternoon was done Mickey said that the next day he could send Sora on the first trip on his new journey to somewhere where he could get more help with his training. After a good night sleep (and half an hour of getting his goodbye form his mum as well as visiting Riku and Kairi's families to assure them that he was going to do everything it would take to bring them home) Sora was back in the tower with his Keyblade along with a backpack filled with good and drinks his mother had packed for him for his trip as well as several books Belle gave him to keep him preoccupied if he ever had a free minute.

"Okay Sora you can bring this along with you just in case you have any questions on the Keyblade or the Heartless." Mickey said putting the book in his backpack and then decided to cast a spell on it causing it to become much smaller and lighter. Mickey explained that it was so it would be much easier to carry without having the weight on his back and he would still be able to retrieve what he wanted from his backpack.

"I will be able to contact you with a spell when you are needing my help and just in case I am having Pluto to accompany you just in case you would need his help." Mickey said as Pluto began jumping to the air excitedly and Sora laughed as he petted the dog on the head. "Now first I will be sending you to somewhere which will be a bit better suited to teach you how to fight, look for a trainer called Phil. Good luck on the journey you are going on Sora because I cannot guaranteed you that it will be easy." Mickey said but Sora just looked determined to get this started. Mickey then started using a teleportation spell and blasted it at Sora and Pluto causing them to disappear.

Forgot to mention this last chapter but I am sorry that I was not able to write the Magic Mirror's dialogue like it was in the movie since I am not good with rhyming. Yeah for the extract that Sora read, please look to the opening narration in the prologue chapter of this story.

Next chapter Sora goes to the first stop on his new journey and meets a certain redhead and not the one he knows.
